I am a man tonight that one of the things the many things I appreciate about God is his mercy is his mercy the Bible tells us that fortunate highly favorite of God will be those that are merciful because the reward of being merciful is that you will you will obtain you will obtain mercy I thank God for His mercy I'm I brought out the prayer room tonight this is a vase and it's filled with a lot of names and the names are Protocol's those that have wondered away from God and they've left the father's house and they're in a far country but we have this vase in our prayer room and from time to time I'll just go get a hold of this vase and I'll just walk the prayer room and talk to God about all the names all the names that's in our prodigal base and I'm gonna tell you I'm gonna tell you I have seen God there's names that are in here that are no longer prodigal there's names that are no longer prodigal as they they come home and then there's names in here that made statements like you know I'll never go back to church I'll never do this I'll never do that and although they're not all the way back to the father's house right now they sure are on their way back and I think it's because of God's mercy I'm so thankful that I'm so thankful that we serve a merciful God a merciful God I'm personally I am personally thankful for the mercy of God many times we we misunderstand the word mercy the word grace we I think sometimes we we sing about grunt the grace of God when we really meaning the mercy of God the grace of God is just simply the strength to pull you out the strength but the mercy of God the mercy of God is when God gives you what you don't deserve second chance and a second chance is not necessarily like you get one chance to live for God and you get a second chance I'm thankful tonight that we don't serve a God of three strikes and you're out I'm glad tonight that we serve a God that the Bible says he's mercy his mercy endures forever he's a merciful he's a merciful God I in this world that I live in as a pastor I hear a lot of stories from people that for whatever reason find themselves in situations find themselves having to live with consequences of situations that they wish had never happened and and I I just always want to be a minister of hope to you I just always want to be a minister that can take can can can find that man or that woman maybe at one time greatly used of God maybe at one time maybe even occupied a pulpit maybe it was a principal of a school or whatever and I just always want to find that person and tell them that God still loves you God still loves you and that God has a plan B for your life and I personally believe that the plan B can be just as glorious as the plan a because of what God and only only God God God can do I always like to when I find myself and the company of men and women that are broken always like to first off consider myself because the Bible even says that if a brother be overtaken in a fault that we who are spiritual notice that two spiritual ones go to them and restore such a one then paul added considering thine own self also because you can pick out the most horrible sin and/or sinner and the only thing between you and that person is the grace and the mercy of Almighty God so I've come tonight for a few moments and I believe that I'm going to minister to someone tonight that your life has been held prisoner to mistakes that are decades old you have served a God that you believe loves you but you have not really embraced a body of believers that want to convey to you that same that same love the second book of Samuel chapter number 23 we'll begin reading at verse number one now these be the last words of David David the son of Jesse said and the man who God raised up on high the anointed of the God of Jacob and the sweet psalmist of Israel said the Spirit of the Lord spake by me and His Word was in my tongue the God of Jacob or the God of Israel said the rock of Israel spake to me he bent ruler over men must be just ruling in the fear of God and he shall be as the light of the morning when the Sun rises even a morning without clouds as the tender grass springing out of the earth by clear shining after rain although my house be not so with God yet he had made with me and everlasting covenant ordered in all things and sure for this is all my salvation and all my desire although he make it not to grow for a few moments tonight the Holy Ghost is going to move in homes but for a few moments tonight I want to preach on this subject the last words of David the last words of David now the Spirit of God is going to begin to move in your home and no doubt I'm trusting and believing there's going to be produções that are going to turn chairs into altars I'm believing tonight that there's going to be things that are going to happen and I want you to communicate with us at the end of the sermon we're going to continue to pray we're believing God that God's gonna minister to the hopeless tonight let's pray father I love you youhad I thank you for the mercy you are how merciful you've been to me Lord God how merciful you've been to Kenneth or a carpenter God your mercy your forgiveness your grace has been overwhelming in my life god I am Who I am and I am what I am tonight by the mercy and by the grace of God you oughta pray tonight and I come against demonic spirits they want to stand between a message of the hope in that person whose lives are captive to events that happened years ago in the name of Jesus tonight that there be free liberty let the bruise be healed let the blind receive their sight tonight that men and women across our world this evening y'all have a touch of your spirit anoint me in Jesus name I will give you glory in Jesus name I pray amen and amen the last words of David the last words of David I did a little of I did a little research on last words of dying men and women and some of them are very interesting some of them are very interesting last words the last words people spoke and even in November 22nd 1963 Dallas Texas the 35th president I believe John F Kennedy was in the car riding with governor Connell and at 12:28 p.m. give or take a minute the last words before Lee Harvey Oswald fired those shots the governor of Texas leaned over and the last words JFK would ever hear he heard the words from the governor say we love you in Texas we love you well there may have been a crowd of cheering people but there was a sniper that less than two minutes later would take away his life and at 1:00 p.m. he was pronounced dead it was said to Winston Churchill who had that voice that solidified Britain during the war as he came on the radio nightly before the bombings and took his voice and spoke hope and things such as speeches that he gave that were so simple never never never never give up never give up it said that Winston Churchill's last words before he died was simply this I'm bored with all of life I'm bored well last words the Bible gives us the last words of David the last words of David says this is last words the last words you have to understand with me that these this is not a man's last words from his deathbed there would be words given I was discussing but I believe it was brother ham and her brother Eriksson today the last words of David and that these were not deathbed words he spoke he spoke words after this that was on his deathbed but these are words that he spoke with having a clear mind knowing that the end of his life was coming and he wanted to leave us with words that would express his heart and his longing in life he wanted he didn't want deathbed words to be the last words he he didn't want it to be remembered that I told Solomon to watch out for this enemy and watch out for that enemy he said when I come time to give my last words I want my last words to come from a man who simply wants to tell you about his life he begins by saying I was the son of Jesse Jesse was an humble farmer and as David begins to say I was the son of Jesse David is reminding himself and he's reminding us of his humble beginnings of his humble beginnings I believe that's a good thing for us to always remember where we've come from let's remember where we've come from then he said I am not only the son of Jesse an humble farmer he said I am the man raised up on high David also wanted us to know that he was not only the sign of an humble farmer and had humble beginnings but he was also a man that he allowed God to raise him up he allowed God to touch him he said I am the son of Jesse I am the man raised on high the anointed of the God of Jacob David wanted us to know that he was anointed by God he wanted people to know that the things that he had done in life they could not be explained that no credit be given to David he wanted you to know that he defeated Goliath he defeated Goliath because she was an anointed man not because he was good with a slingshot and got lucky he wanted us to know there were things about his life it can only be attributed that he is simply anointed he's the son of Jesse he's the man raised on high he is anointed of the God of Jacob he is the sweet psalmist of Israel he wanted us to know that he had been given a tongue that could give the eloquence and the expression of God he was able to take his tongue and pen and connect them together and give us some of the most beautiful Psalms that express a heart that loves God he said the Spirit of the Lord spoke by me in other words he was letting everyone know my life was a life that I was not only the son of Jesse and not only the man raised on high and not only the anointed God of Jacob not only the sweet psalmist but I was a person that God would speak through that God spoke to my heart and I would speak to others he goes in and then he tells us this he said when God spoke to me in verse number three when God spoke to me he told me what a leader what a ruler what a king ought to look like he told me that if you were to be a ruler that you had to be just you couldn't be bribed you had to be a just man you you were without respect a person you didn't catch somebody wealthy somebody that could do something for you you didn't cut them a better deal than you did the popper he said God spoke to me and told me that a leader a ruler had to be just and they had to rule with the fear of God inside of them they had to have a reverential respect they had to walk their life making every decision with God in mind they had to rule in the fear of God then he said in verse number four that if a man a ruler a leader a pastor an evangelist a youth worker a sunday-school teacher a dad in the whole that if he would be just and if he wouldn't if he would fear God that his life would be verse number four it shall be as the light of the morning what he's describing is a brand-new day filled with all kind of great possibilities this is a leader and his life is filled with possibility host sunday-school song I am a promise I am a possibility David was saying that the the Lord spake through me and said if a man would just and if a man would reach fear me he would be as the light of the morning when the Sun rises even a morning without clouds think about that not only it's a brand new day not only is it a brand new day but it's a brand new day without a cloud in the sky I mean you'll have to fear any rain get the seed out of the barn boys man we got a clear day it's it's it's it's not just them not only do we get a new name but we get a day without clouds as the tender grass springing out of the earth by clear shining after the rain in other words that beautiful Sheen that's upon the fields after the dew and after the rain when they look out over the fields and they they see growth he begins to describe what a perfect leader what a perfect ruler would look like he begins to describe what a perfect ruler would look like but then in verse five he says although my house be not so with God he just described to you what a ruler ought to look like and what a ruler would represent and then he stops and he says my last words is to tell you this is not what my house looks like this is not what my leadership looks like although my house shall not be so although my house be not so with God yet he hath made with me and everlasting covenant ordered in all things and sure for this is all my salvation and all my desire although he make it not to groan understand David his last words he's standing on the mountain peak of his life because regardless of the failures of dating because he has a covenant with God the covenant that he has with God is much greater than the failures of his life so he's on this mountain he's given his last words his mountain looks to to his mountain looks to the past and his mountain looks to the future he stands on this mountain and he tells you what a perfect leader ought to look like but then he tells you that says don't look at my house because my house doesn't look like this but then he said but I have a covenant there is a covenant that God has made with me you see no doubt when David said my heart where my house doesn't look like this he was probably thinking about that major sin that he did that followed him and I don't know you'd have to elaborate on it much because we all know because we hear it David's sinned with Bathsheba we hear all about this David is letting us know David is letting us know he is letting us know as we watch him dance before the Ark of the Covenant he is letting us know that there was a hidden part of his life a carnal flesh a private part of his life he is letting you know when he said my house doesn't look like the perfect leader but he's letting you know that when I was dancing before the Ark of the Covenant I was struggling on the inside to keep my passions in line I was I was struggling as a matter of fact he said his house was not so when we look at David's house and David's got a messed up house to begin with you see David's problems all can be traced back to his house the first trouble we find in David's house and I'm not trying to justify what David did but sometimes there's more to people's lives than just the ugly story that gets told you see David was married to Saul's daughter McHale David brought the Ark of the Covenant back to Israel dancing but when he got home second Samuel 6 16 and as the Ark of the Lord came into the City of David McKell Saul's daughter looked through window and saw King David leaping and dancing before the Lord and she despised him in her heart forgive this you know that David's sin came in his house David's sin begins to be recorded and it has similarities with mikkel sin because it is a sin to despise God being worshipped it is a sin to look narrowly upon people that are worshipping and praising God and Macau had a sin and it started because she was elevated in the Bible since she looked down through a window she reveals that in David's house is a spirit that despises worship where was David at when his sin began in second annual 11 to chain to pass in an evening time that David arose from off his bed walked upon the roof of the king's house and from the roof he saw a woman washing herself and the woman was very beautiful to look upon it was here michail had a spirit issue David had a flesh issue Mikell never recovered from her sin but David would write his last words and David would recover from his sin because he had a covenant with God and the problem is a sin of spirit is far worse than a sin of the flesh there are people that have given way to sins of the flesh but inside of their heart there was a glimmer a candle a spark a flame that said I don't need to be doing this but anytime you allow your spirit to become critical to the only thing that can help the only thing that can deliver yesin worship is the only help that man has if we ever become critical of praise and worship we'll never have victorious last words as David King David had it's amazing King David his sin his sin his sin was one of the flesh but we understand something when he was confronted with his sin it was how he responded to his sin you see McKell had an opportunity David rebuked her and David said to Mikhail when she was making light ridiculing the dancing King David gave her a way out he said it was before the Lord that I danced and said the next time the Lord the next time I bring the Ark anywhere said I'll be more demonstrative the next time it been an awesome opportunity for Michelle to repent right there be a great place for Mikael to step up cell you know what I'm so sorry that I made fun of you dancing I'm so sorry that I made fun of how you worship but sins of the Spirit are just like sins of the flesh she did not repent but David yes he lusted yes he broke several Commandments yes he plotted to have a man murdered yes he lived a season of his life in deception but all that day in 2nd Samuel 12 13 David had truth two prophets there were two prophets in David's life and better but the only way we're gonna make it to heaven we got to have some voices in our lives that are connected to God but they can't just mean voices that we like when we like what they say it's got to be voices that we that we obey even when it goes against our grain David had two prophets he had a prophet by the name of Nathan and he had a prophet by the name of GAD I think if you put these two names together in the Hebrew the word Nathan means given and in Hebrew the word GAD means a truth of army and I wonder if God didn't just put them two together and say if you'll have the Word of God in your life if you'll have a man of God in your life if you'll have a pastor in your life I'll give you an army that you can fight the gates of hell here comes Nathan into the house the Bible said that Nathan came and Nathan preached to David and when David passed judgment upon a stranger Nathan says to David in verse number 13 12 you are the man and david verse 13 said unto Nathan because here it is here's the difference between a sin of the spirit that won't repent and a sin of the flesh that will hear it is here's the determining factor if your last words will be glorious or your last words will be tormenting here it is I have sinned against the Lord and Nathan said unto David the Lord also hath put away thy sin thou shalt not die hell biet because this deed thou has given great occasion to the enemies of the Lord to blaspheme the child also that is born unto thee shall surely die in other words David God has forgiven you but there's going to be consequences there's going to be consequences accept it understand it God is going to allow some things that happen that's going to be an eternal reminder that sin never has and never will pay said David there's going to be the enemies to bless feed the child is going to die Nathan departed unto his house and the Lord struck the child that Uriah's wife Aaron to David and it was very sick therefore David therefore besought God for the child fasted and went in and lay all night upon the earth now I want to come back to the estimate I want to minister right now you see your hope is that your behavior although David had a private life that he was struggling with David had a private life that he was having issues with when he danced before the Lord publicly he probably was battling with lust but publicly he was dancing before the Lord here is the key to restoration once your sin have become known once your private life now becomes public when once your sin has been made known your public worship that you had before your private life was public must remain the same you can't stop praising after your sin is revealed you can't stop coming to church after your sin is revealed you can't stop worshipping after your sin is revealed if you're ever going to make it sir if you're ever going to make it ma'am you've got to keep doing what you were doing back when you were worshipping God before your sin became public the Bible said therefore David verse 16 therefore David besought God for the child and fasted and went in and lay all night upon the earth the elders of his house arose and went in to raise him up from the earth but he would not neither would eat any bread with them and he came to pass on the seventh day that the child died and the servants of David feared to tell him that the child was dead for they said behold while the child was yet alive respect unto him and he would not hearken unto our voice how he will how will he the Invents himself if we tell him that the child is dead but when David saw that his servants whispered her friend if there's ever been anything that has driven more hurt men and women out of wanting to be restored it's the whispering it's the whispering that they hear he began to hear the servants whispering but instead of letting the whisper driving from the prayer room David got up and faced his fact he faced his judgment when he heard them whispering he said is the child see we have to understand anybody that matters is praying for you not talking about you anybody that matters you've got to get this mentality anybody that whispers about you they don't matter in the first place but you've got to have the mentality let's face this I did have an issue in my life I did have a situation that happened on a rooftop that I'm not proud of I wish a thousand times it can never happen but I've got to tell you just because my flesh ran unbridled on a rooftop doesn't mean that God doesn't have a covenant with me God is willing to do something with my life I know I've made a mistake I know that I've murdered I know that I've lied I know that I've cheated but inside of my heart I'm a man that believes that God wants to do something with my life my house doesn't look like this but God has made a covenant David said is the child yet alive he's dead they said he got up he ate he drank he anointed himself he changed his clothes he went into the house of God he to worship and they they whispered saw the behavior strange you see the whispers they can whisper when my seat is empty on the platform they can whisper when my seat is empty in the church they can whisper when I'm no longer around but what if after what I've done becomes public and all the sudden I show back up in the house of God and I steal a worship and God I still and praising God I'm still the last one to leave the altar I'm still the one praise and God can I tell you they looked at David and they said your behavior the whisper said your behavior is rather strange you fasted and prayed while the child was alive and now that he's dead you've anointed yourself you've went to the house of God and he said that's turned around and David said you don't understand where my hope is that said that child is now in a place that the only way that I can go to him is to die he can never come back to me I hope you get this David is saying my mistake can never come back to me I can go to it but it can never come back to me because when God takes our sins he cast them in the sea of forgetfulness never to be remembered and if you remember them it's because you went to where it's had because God has never brought it to where you're at can you say men oh I want to help somebody tonight David comforts Bathsheba and they had her she conceives and they had solomon solomon becomes the next king it's interesting to note something in first Kings chapter 15 verse number 3 talks about a king a descendant of David a descendant of David because after all what that covenant represented was of the loins of David God would raise up the Christ to set eternally upon the throne and so a few descendants down from David he's a king it says in 1st Kings 15 and 3 and he walked in all the sins of his father which he had done before him and his heart was not perfect with the Lord his God as the heart of David his father in other words this King walked in the sins of his father and then the Bible says that his heart was not perfect as David's heart was you understand God paints David with a brush of favor he begins to talk about David having a perfect heart no no no no no limit God this is after 2nd Samuel chapter 11 this is after the rooftop you you can't say this he doesn't have a perfect heart let me tell you in man's kingdom we keep score in man's kingdom we hold records but in God's kingdom the only one that matters he steps out and says that man had a perfect heart David had a perfect heart nevertheless for David's sake did the Lord his God give him a lamp in Jerusalem to set up his son after him and to establish his kingdom because David did that which was right in the eyes of the Lord and turned not aside from anything that he commanded him all the days of his life save only in the matter of Uriah the Hittite god you see when God begins to move your life yes God mentions Uriah but it's not the host some of your life he's not he's looking at all the good that David did after his fall he begins to move David begins to move David through life look at verse 8 just move down to verse 8 for times sake look at this king here this is descendant of David and I buy a jungle slept with his fathers and they buried him in the City of David and ASA his son reigned in his stead now ASA verse 11 and ASA did that which was right in the eyes of the Lord as did David his father women Isis father didn't do right but ASA had the spirit of David and God said that he woke and he did that which was right it's interesting that aces father a bio gem chronicles spells his name a little different chronicle spells his name a bij aah which means Jehovah is my father but the Book of Kings spells his name a B I J am which means my father is yem yem was a Canaanite see God could it be that he started out a badger a follower of Yahweh and ended up a by German a follower of a false God is it possible today that our reaction to our sin will determine whether Jehovah is our Father or a Canaanite God is our Father David oh we know David's house David had a son by the name of Amnon Amnon raped his half-sister Tamar we understand that David had a son by the name of Absalom Absalom murders Amnon for the rape of his sister Tamar it was absolutely that stole the hearts of Israel overthrew the kingdom and ran his own father barefooted out of Jerusalem and would have killed his own father it's a matter of fact you talk about a trouble you talk about a troubled house when Absalom David's son ran David to the mountains Absalom then took a tint with sheer thrid see-through material put it up on that same house David had made his mistaken and he brought all of David's concubine all of his wives all of the women that David had relationship with he brought them women up to the top of that house and in the view of all the public Absalom lay with his father's concubine no wonder David said let me tell you my last words he said you took a man that fears God you take a man that's just you take a man it's a brand new day without clouds but he said I don't want you to look at my house because my house doesn't look like this there's too many people watching me tonight that have given up on going to the house of God you've given up on being a worker in the house of God we are yet we are desperately missing your talent in the church because the enemy has beat you up to the point to where you're just saying my ministry don't look like this anymore I don't look like I was anymore I everybody knows what I did everybody's looking at me Oh for the love of God would you listen to this preacher tonight your house may not look like it but God's got a coven it God's got a future you don't realize that God's got a future they're gonna talk about you David they're gonna praise your name David know your house doesn't look like this how about the ugly time and David's wife and David numbered the people about the ugly time and David's live yet hits he had several ugly events in his life and I'm wondering if this event I know it it's far more people's lives were lost I know when David made his rooftop sin there were two lives that were lost it was a child that was conceived and there was Uriah but do you know that when David numbered the people when David numbered Israel which was something that God said you are not to number the only time God gave permission to number was for the genealogy say and any time God said number the people he also said as you remember them let them bring an atonement offering to the house of God you could never number your strength without giving credit to where it came from if you're going to know how many years was God you got to be given an atonement offering but David David numbered Israel and the plague came and the Bible says 70 thousand died in Israel now brother Haman brother Eriksson either either one of you would you Google real quickly would you Google real quickly how many people have died from Kovach 19 in the world which would you Google how many people have died and when you get that answer this race 70 thousand people died because of David's sin of number of the people 70 thousand died his rooftop work we hear way more about his rooftop sin as only two died from his rooftop sin but his numbering 70,000 people died my brother you have an answer yet 70,000 people died he can either be even get me the number in the world or get me the number in the United give me the number in the United States 70,000 go ahead my brother 164,000 worldwide you could you very quickly find out how many have died in the United States the 50 states United States of America women 40,000 591 what what has what has absolutely captivated our nation and rightfully so what David did was far more or almost double the amount of death 70,000 people died two prophets David had in his life Nathan and dad Nathan confronted David with his sin dad came and told David what he had to do about his sin second Samuel 24 18 and dad changed that day to David and said unto Him go up rear an altar unto the Lord in the threshing floor of Araunah the Jebusite a friend can I tell you thank God for the prophets thank God for the preaching thank God for the word because when I got my rooftops in I've got a prophet to come and tell me you're the man David and when I have another sin that kills 70,000 I have a prophet to walk up and say David I'm gonna tell you what you need to do in the midst of your double portion kovat 19 build and alter what you need to do ma'am what you need to do what you need is not to build a new life you don't need a new wardrobe you don't need a new occupation you don't need a new set of friends you need to build an altar you need to build you and I'll build you an altar he told him where to go build it and David went and in 2nd samuel chapter 24 verse number 24 David goes up he's going to build an altar call 70,000 have died and the King said into aronia and the reason he's saying this is when David comes up and around us out there in that field on that mountaintop and runner said what do you what are you doing here King David he said God told me to come here and build an alternate aronia said all he said old man this appeal to me anywhere you want to he said here's a wood here's oxen here's everything free it's all free David it's all free you're the King you're the man David it's all free and David answered him and David said Oh children I know nay but I will surely buy in of thee at a price neither will I offer burnt offerings under the Lord my god of that which death cost me nothing so David bought the threshing floor and the oxen for fifty shekels of silver and David built there an altar unto the Lord and offered burnt offerings and peace offerings so the Lord was entreated for the land and the plague was stayed from Israel will that piece of property become a memorial to the failure of David will that piece of property be a monument to where David murdered David was the cause of 70,000 people will that property there become a memorial to David's failure well let's see if it becomes a memorial after all it's been built because you have number the people it's been built because of your pride you need an altar it's been built because of your mistake every time that David comes by will David think of his mistake I don't think so roll the days in two years David is now dead and Tay and Solomon David's son is about to dig the foundation for the house of God and in second chronicles chapter three and verse number one then solomon began to build the house of the Lord at Jerusalem in Mount Moriah where the Lord appeared unto David his father in the place that David had prepared for the threshing floor of Ornan the Jebusite ladies and gentlemen God can take the place whose foundation is sin and build the house of God into a place of incredible worship can I tell you it may be your adult ray that brings you back to the house of God but let it be the foundation of great things to come it may come to lying it may come to peel addiction it may come to a lot of things but we can build the house of God can you give praise Hey all right holy to God I'm there with you sir I'm there with you in that living room right now I'm now with you ma'am I'm that with you young person I'm there with you go ahead and reach over get the hand of that wife or the hand of that husband you know hell's been trying to separate your marriage I know there's been infertility but God is able to take that and build his house go ahead David go ahead cuz I'm gonna tell you how God keeps track musicians would you come I'm gonna tell you how God keeps track y'all says I want to open up the New Testament I want a New Testament I want to open up a New Testament I have fulfilled the Old Testament the Old Testament I fulfilled it I want a new Testament alright God go ahead and open up go ahead and open up a new Testament with Matthew and we're gonna go to the first chapter of Matthew and we're going to go to the first verse in the first chapter the book of the generation of Jesus Christ well that makes sense to me that makes sense to open up like that man that makes sense to open up because he's the hole together lovely one he's the one without sin he's the perfect one I understand you opening up with the perfect one but wait a minute that's a comma the book of the generation of Jesus Christ the Son of David what of all the Old Testament people you could have chosen to identify your perfect life with you chose David the son of David Matthew chapter 9 verse number 27 blind people begin to try out when Jesus departed thence two blind men followed him crying and saying thou son of David have mercy on me hey guys ever didn't you didn't hear David's a loser evidently you didn't hear he's got a rooftop experience he's got a record he's got a pass let me tell you something there's too many people today that are being held back from miracle signs and wonders because instead of connecting David with Jesus they connect David with the rooftop Matthew 15 22 and behold a woman of Canaan came out of the same coasts and cried unto him saying have mercy O Lord thou son of David blind people are healed Jesus is introduced demonic spirits leave because somebody can that's Jesus Christ with the son being the son of David Acts chapter 19 excuse-me Acts chapter 13 verse 22 when Paul was preaching he let them know that Jesus Christ was the son of David in the epistles book of Romans he opened up Romans 1 in 1 Paul a servant of Jesus Christ called to be an apostle separated unto the gospel of God which he had promised afore by his pot his prophets in the Holy Scripture concerning his son Jesus Christ our Lord who was made of the seed of David according to the flesh declared to be the Son of God with power again Jesus connects himself now I told you the last words of David I read to you my text was the last words of David can I share with you the last words of Jesus Christ it's found in the book of Revelation the last words of Jesus Christ go like this revelation 22:16 I told you the last words of David my house doesn't look like what the Covenant does my house doesn't look like the Covenant but now let's hear the last words of Jesus I Jesus have sent my angel to testify unto you these things in the churches I am the root and the offspring of David the bright and the morning star women is Jesus referring to himself as the bright and morning star could be but is jesus referring to David because after all remember David sent a perfect man had a morning without clouds a day and he steps in and he says I'm Jesus I'm the root I'm pre rooftop mistake I'm the roof and I'm the offspring of David gonna tell you tonight that we're going to a place to where we'll all be the same Bible said we'll all have white robes that maybe spiritually maybe just using that but it's gonna be one thing about us all in heaven

tell you what it's also open for and I believe that we can stay within the limit of the number of people it's open for the prodigal to come home you're a prodigal tonight and you're watching me and you know it's time to come home you you somehow get word to me we'll meet you here at this church will help pray you back through to the relationship Jesus Christ the Son of David but pray you through will pray he's the only one that can I believe that it's my personal opinion but I've heard a lot of messages in my life about the point of no return and God has a place that he's cut you off and I guess we're all given a right to our opinion but I only find two sins in the Bible that he said I will not forgive you cannot be forgiven one is blaspheming the Holy Ghost and take a wild tale what what that is but backsliding is not blaspheming there's a place you get to in blaspheming and he said you get to that place and will not forgive you then the second sin that can't be forgiven there won't be forgiven he said if you do not forgive those that have trespassed against you neither will I forgive you so tonight I really don't subscribe to that point of no return and you heard your last altar call 20 years ago and walked out and the preacher said if you go out tonight you never hear from God again I'm sorry I I simply don't I don't relate to that I can't see that in my God His mercy endureth forever just one more time let's pray father I Love You Father I thank you tonight God let this message live on and echo on in the minds and the hearts of people tonight yeah we'll give you the praise give you the honor Jesus name
